This forum has been very useful. Here is another question.
I have a main and a mini box that are located quite a distance from one another and the second one is a long way from the hub. As a consequence my WiFi in that part of the house is not good. I have solved the problem by getting a BTWholeHome mesh system- not unduly expensive, a 3 disc set cost £169 from Amazon. It works really well, when I did a Speedchecker before it struggled to get 20 to 30 mbps but I now get 100+ even in remote rooms. The nice thing is that you don’t need to turn off the Virgin hub’s WiFi so it works alongside it- other mesh systems seemed to need the hub to be switched to just a modem. The way the v360 box works is different to the old TiVo boxes and recordings take place on the main box and not on the mini so if you want to watch a recording on the mini box it uses WiFi to download it the same as if you watch Netflix, Prime etc. I have my remote box now connected to the BTHome network but the box close to the hub is connected via Ethernet so I assume it uses the Virgin WiFi connection.
So my question is do I need to change any settings on the box that is directly connected to the hub? Having tested it I can see all my recordings on both boxes, all the apps work and the Hive heating control also works fine so I don’t think I need to do anything else but would appreciate any comments from the techies.
